Ensuring a delay in an Ansible 'with_sequence' loop

I've the following handler that is invoked correctly, however, all the sequences appear to be run in quick succession. I'd like to run one by one with a specified delay. Will this work?

- name: 'restart process_server_x_instance_y'
  shell: '/bin/restarter serverx_instance_{{item}}'
  ignore_errors: yes
  delay: 5
  with_sequence: count={{ number_of_instances|length }}

Is this enough to pause 5 secs after restarting instance_1, then 5 secs after instance_2, etc.?

Use loop_control - pause:

- name: 'restart process_server_x_instance_y'
  shell: '/bin/restarter serverx_instance_{{item}}'
  ignore_errors: yes
  with_sequence: count={{ number_of_instances|length }}
  loop_control:
    pause: 5
